Thank you for a problem report.

So, you installed 5.0.15 into "C:\MySQL"... What happened next? Server tried to search for the cp1251-related files in the wrong directory? Possible. Please, send the content of your my.ini file (it may left from the previous installation). It is a possible bug #1. And a topic of this bug report, I suppose.

You found another problem then, with some function (please, send its code, so for us to be able to discuss the same thing). This is a second possible bug, and, after we solve your first problem, you may create a separate bug report for it.

Finally, there is a feature request about returning user names without hostname (as other databases do)... You may add it, but it is a feature request, not a bug.

So, please, do not mix several problems in one report. For this one, please, send the content of all the my.ini files you have on your machine.
